Denham helped clinch the budget deal this year, the one with massive tax increases and with an Open Primary attached.
See the link I just posted above.

But yes, Perata wanted him ousted for his budget votes the prior year. Perata had counted on him being a squish and he actually voted with the other Republicans.

So much for Denham (in the interest of full disclosure, I supported this jackass earlier in his fight against Perata, whom I detest).

We supported you, Jeff, and then you let us down. We're done with you.
